UNKNOWN SWITZERLAND 

Tuesday Evening, March 7th 
Wednesday Afternoon, March 8th 



THE hasty tourist who in a brief ten days span hurries over 
the great beaten thoroughfares of travel in Switzerland 
knows but little of the rare beauty of its more secluded 
by-ways. It will be the endeavor of the lecturer to fittingly 
portray these by numerous and beautiful illustrations. Starting at 
Lucerne, that centre of modern tourist travel, he directs his way 
down the charming Lake of the Four Cantons, along the magnificent 
Axenstrasse, and then stops for a brief detour into the romantic and 
unfrequented Maderaner Thai. Again resuming the line of march 
he follows up the wild valley of the Reuss to the entrance of the 
Great St. Gotthard Tunnel, and up through the savage and sombre 
Gorge of the Schollenen to the plain of the Ursenthal and the 
little village of Andermatt. The route next leads east across the 
plateau of the Ober-alp to the waters of the Upper and Lower 
Rhine, following the latter through the fearful defiles of the Via 
Mala to its source in the great Rheinwald glacier. Returning to 
Andermatt again, the opposite course is now taken west, crossing 
the magnificent Furca Pass at an elevation of nearly 9,000 feet, 
then down the wildly beautiful valley of the Rhone to Visp, and 
from thence to Zermatt, ' ' the heart of the Alps, ' ' with its myriad 
of surrounding snow-capped peaks and the giant and majestic 
Matterhorn.

CATHEDRAL DAYS. I 



THE WESTERN CATHEDRALS OF ENGLAND 



Friday Evening, March loth 
Saturday Afternoon, March iith 



THE scene now changes, and from the glories of nature the 
lecturer turns to some of the grandest handiwork of man. 
The cathedrals of England teem with interest for the church- 
man, the historian, and the architect, while the tourist never 
forgets their dim aisles, soft with mellowed light, their vaulted 
naves, their sumptuous choirs, their storied tombs and their flower 
gardens in traceried stone. The quaint and sleepy cathedral towns, 
with their customs of by-gone days, are too of exceeding interest. 
Landing at Liverpool, Chester is first visited, with its interesting 
cathedral, narrow streets, encircling walls and quaint half-timbered 
houses. The lecturer now devotes a few moments to an explana- 
tion of the different forms of English Gothic architecture, illus- 
trating the Norman, Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular 
styles, with appropriate photographs. Then, resuming the jour- 
ney, comes dainty Litchfield, "the queen of English cathedrals," 
and the home of the lexicographer, Samuel Johnson ; then 
Worcester, with its unrivalled nave, and ancient Gloucester, with 
its wondrous East Window and glorious cloisters ; then collegiate 
Wells, " the cathedral city, " and near-by old ruined Glastonbury 
Abbey. Then comes Salisbury, with its soaring steeple, ' ' the 
spire of Salisbury plain," and close at hand to it Stonehenge, that 
unsolved riddle for antiquarians. Finally Winchester, teeming 
with historic interest. Here the first part of the journey ends, and 
the tourist awaits with impatience the revelations of the next 
lecture. 




THE CHOIR, WORCESTER CATHEDRAL 



CATHEDRAL DAYS. II 



THE EASTERN CATHEDRALS OF ENGLAND 



Tuesday Evening, March 14th 
Wednesday Afternoon, March 15th 



ON the third evening' the lecturer and his fellow travelers 
resume their journeying among the cathedrals. The 
route is again taken up at Chichester, its weatherbeaten 
and peculiar old bell tower standing out as a prominent 
landmark. Then comes Canterbury, and with it the name of 
Thomas A'Becket the first martyr to English liberty. Here was 
enacted that bloody sacrifice whose story will never grow old, here 
rested his shrine, a Mecca for thousands of devout pilgrims, and 
here still stands the chapel of his martyrdom. From Canterbury, 
the first English cathedral, to St. Paul's the last, is but a short 
step. St. Paul's, the cathedral of the Renaissance, the chef 
d'oeuvre of Sir Christopher Wren, and now sharing the honors 
of Westminster Abbey as a national Walhalla, is briefly described. 
From thence the route leads to Ely, the cathedral of the fens, and 
then again to Peterborough, with its florid and striking facade. 
Then comes Lincoln, the king of English cathedrals and the 
birthplace of English Gothic art ; then York with its sumptuous 
Minster, vieing with Lincoln for first rank, and the town with its 
military gates and embattled walls. And lastly Durham — lovely 
Durham — raising its thrice-crowned head far above the steep green 
banks of the encircling river Wear ; the home of Norman art, the 
sanctuary of St. Cuthbert and the venerable Bede. and the seat 
of great bishops — lords temporal as well as spiritual — whose 
sway and princely magnificence in by-gone days was second only 
to the kings of the land. 




ON THE BANKS, DURHAM 



Under the Midnight Sun 



Arctic Norway 



Friday Evening, March 17th 
Saturday Afternoon, March i8th 



FROM cathedral England the scene changes again and the 
lecturer turns to a land of rushing waterfalls, snow capped 
mountains and mighty glaciers — Norway, the Land of the 
Midnight Sun. In this lecture Arctic Norway — that portion 
of the country between Trondhjem and the North Cape — will be 
specially illustrated. Starting at Christiania the capitol, the 
route runs northwards to Lake Mjosen and LiHehammer, and then 
up through the famous Gudbrandsdal as far as the great watershed 
separating this valley from the Romsdal. Here, Dr. Mitchell 
takes an entirely new route and one but recently opened, crossing 
the mountains to the westward and coming out at Merok on the 
Gejranger Fjord. The grandeur of this magnificent fjord, esteemed 
by the Norwegians as one of the finest in all Norway, is fully 
illustrated by a series of wonderful pictures. The route passes 
down through this fjord to its mouth, thence to Hellesylt on the 
Sun-el V Fjord and thence across through the wild Norangdal — a 
route only opened within the last two years — to the sombre 
Hjorund Fjord, and from thence to Molde — the paradise of Nor- 
way. Before proceeding farther North a side trip is made to the 
celebrated Romsdal, and to the beautiful Bikisdal and its lake, the 
latter a region almost unknown to tourists. The tourist now em- 
barks on the steamer Mira en route for the North Cape. The first 
object of interest is Torghatten, the mountain with a hole in it, 
next the Seven Sisters mountain, and then the curious rocky island 
called Hestmandso, or the cloaked horseman. Then, rising up 
abruptly out of the ocean across the great West Fjord, the first 
glimpse is caught of the Lofoten Islands, lifting their volcanic 
crags to a height of nearly 6000 feet above the surface of the 
water. The steamer winds through these, going through the 
wonderful Raftsund and the little Troll Fjord and then pursues its 
course to Tromso and the Lapp settlement. Then comes Hammer- 
fest, the most northern town in the world, and finally the North 
Cape, and the tourist sees the sun set and rise at midnight. 




ON THE GEJRANGER FJORD 
NORWAY 



MEDI.€VAL ENGLAND 



The Prince, The Peasant, and the Priest 



Tuesday Evening, March 21st 
Wednesday Afternoon, March 22d 



IN this lecture Dr. Mitchell will portray the life, homes and 
customs of mediaeval times. It is a subject of rare interest, 
for England of the present day is still dotted with the ruins of 
castles, abbeys, convents and ancient homes ; many of the 
latter still standing almost as perfect as when they were first occu' 
pied. Commencing with the military life of the olden days, Tin- 
tagel Castle "Donadil of the Cornish Sea," the birthplace of King 
Arthur of Round Table fame, and one of the oldest fortified ruins in 
England, will be described as it stands a heap of dismantled stone 
on the shore of the great Atlantic. Then Raglan Castle, a veritable 
fairy tale fortress, with its wondrous machiolated turrets and its 
lofty keep, and then Chepstow, famous in Cromwellian times. Then, 
stepping over for a minute into Wales, Conway and Caernarvon are 
visited, and finally the Tower of London, the best preserved fortress 
of modern England is briefly, but graphicly painted. The home 
life of the people is briefly touched upon, with some of their old, 
half-timbered houses. Then the manored grange, as typefied by 
Moreton Old Hall, a quaint and interesting relic of Cheshire. 
Its picturesque and striking courtyard, queer old ball-room and 
modernized banqueting hall, will for the first time be shown to 
an American audience. Then a step higher to the homes of the 
nobilitj^ and Haddon Hall, the best preserved relic of mediaeval 
homesteads now extant, will be fully portraj'ed in series of pictures 
of remarkable fidelity. The charming little romance of Dorothy 
Vernon and her lover, which adds so much interest to its halls, is 
not forgotten, and their life is followed to their last resting place in 
the old church at Bakewell. From the church to the clergy is but 
a step, and lastly the monastic and religious institutions of Eng- 
land are reviewed. Furness Abbey, Fountains Abbey and lovely 
Tintern aie in turn visited, and finally passing from ancient to 
modern times the lecturer closes with a glowing tribute to the 
great English speaking race.
